Out & About in the region. :
Places to Visit. We are well situated for visiting sights both inland and on the coast. Nearby are the Bastide towns of Duras and Eymet, Duras with its beautiful Chateau and panoramic views, Eymet with its pretty square, both favourites, medieval village of Monteton & historic village of Allemans-du-Dropt these are all close-by. Bastide towns of Miramont-de-Guyenne, Monsegur, Castillones, Issigeac and Monpazier are all only a short drive. About 2 hours drive, on the Atlantic Coast is the lovely town of Arcachon with its magnificient sand dunes and fabulous shops. Also of course the towns of Bordeaux & Bergerac.
Fetes & Markets. Throughout the year these are plentiful. In particular the Fete du Vin in Duras (2nd weekend in August) where there is a display of Hot Air Balloons and Monsegur Swing (1st weekend in July) a 24hr Festival of Jazz, and of course Bastille Day celebrations 14th July. Local daily markets are part of life here and gives you chance to sample fresh local produce.

Many leisure and sporting facilities are available, here are a few ideas.
Golfing - on the many superb courses close-by.

Barge Trips - on the River Garonne a beautiful way to see the countryside.
Hot Air Ballooning - a wonderful experience.
